What I do

I am a seamstress working in the South Hams, Devon, I established my business in 2013.
I love creating and making.
I design and make my own collection of clothing.
I take commissions for dressmaking and I create beautiful hand-made curtains & Roman Blinds.
I make bespoke cushions, window seats & soft furnishings.

I can teach you how to confidently use your sewing machine and get started with exploring it's uses.

I no longer take on alterations. I focus on creating my own collection whilst also making beautiful, traditionally crafted soft furnishings. I make hand tailored clothes for clients too.

Mens Warmer

More than a waistcoat, this is a Warmer.
Size Medium

I've used a wonderful tweed for this that I was lucky enough to find a few years ago and keep in my fabric stash until now. It was a product of the Dartington Tweed Mill. The mill closed in 1987 so this fabric has stood the test of time. I don't know when this particular Tweed was manufactured but the mill was producing tweed between 1931 and 1987.

Its a gorgeous burnt orange colour and feels substantial to the touch. I've quilted the cotton drill lining with an extra thick interlining so this is definitely going to keep the body and torso very warm.

4 handy inside pockets
2 outer patch pockets
Constructed to last.

100% Wool Tweed - Dartington Mill
100% Cotton Drill
100% Cotton interlining
Vintage Wooden buttons

All of my garments are unique, and there isn't enough of this tweed to make another one, truly a one-off.

It features as part of this seasons collection now at 36b Magdalen Road in Exeter from 27th October to 1st November.

I'll be at the Native Makers Winter Market in Duke Street, Devonport, on the 29th of November
